Paynes Bay Vacations from $766

The rooms were clean. The staff was excellent. Provided great information on things that were happening off the resort arranged transportation to get there.

We understood that it was not peak vacation time in Barbados, but the resort was empty. The resort did not conduct any activities they had listed for the pool or the beach. No music being played - very low key. Restaurant choices very limited and one night there was even same menu two nights in a row. Very limited buffets. LOVED the staff at the spa! Definitely visit. The room was beautiful - very spacious and the view was wonderful.

First time at The Crane. I visit Barbados often, but usually stay with family. This time around i had a group of 6 including 3 children in my party so decided to stay at The Crane. The grounds are well maintained and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We reserved 2 rooms. At check in my sister was upgrade given her party was 4. Her accommodations was located in the “ residence”. The room was absolutely breathtaking!! 3 bedrooms, balconies with a panoramic view of the ocean, the updated kitchen and baths were beautiful. Now, my party of 2 were placed in an older building. The room was comfortable, clean, but definitely dated with dark wood furniture. After a day we were also updated to a larger room within one of the older buildings. Well, unfortunately that room had some issues that we noted within minutes. We contacted the front desk and they came to inspect the room. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Everyone from the front desk, evening manger and bell person was so helpful. We had another room within an hour and they had someone come and move us. The room was newly renovated and had a rooftop deck, pool and grill. Although we were happy with our first accommodations this room was exceptional! Hopefully they will continue to renovate the older units. They are doing an excellent job with the newer ones. The food was good and the drinks are strong! The Crane sour and Carnival sour were my favorites. I can’t say enough about the staff. I will definitely be back!
